The Admin of Abacus market has posted short unsigned message on the dread forum informing users of the markets status following downtime for the last few days.
by /u/Vito:
“Lot of traffic these days coming after Arch market died. So well, just recently Daunt has been malfunctioning and ddos got very bad for us. But everything is fine, between ddos and plenty new users using the market, we need some adjustments.
I am working on it, sorry for the inconveniences and of course as usual thank you for your patience.
Please do not fall for phishing links.
I will let you know when market is up again “
As of writing this the onion web links are not accessible:
Dread Admin Hugbunter has stated he is in contact with the Admin of Abacus but expresses uncertainty on the markets status.
/u/Hugbunter:
“Edit: Redacting this comment for now, Vito is in contact with me and I will only post an update if deemed necessary. I’ve been assured that he is working on getting the market back online, so we will go from here. If it wasn’t coming back, there wouldn’t be much reason for him to still be here right now.“
Another user /u/DojaDesperado noted it was not signed by the Admin
“Probably doesn’t mean anything, but /u/Vito hasn’t signed a single message on this account ever.
So not signing this message is not abnormal based on his account history.“
The status of the market is unclear with many surmising that only time will tell what the fate of Abacus Market is.
